"All He Offers Is a Hand-Waving Cover Designed to Justify the Infliction of Catastrophic Harm upon the Poorest and Sickest among Us"

"Ryan assumes that increasing the role of the market and decreasing the role of government will increase upward mobility—the wealthier people can get, the easier it will be to get wealthy or to fall out of wealth. But he doesn’t argue it explicitly, and for good reason: There’s no reason to believe it. In fact, the evidence all suggests exactly the opposite. Economic mobility is higher in countries with higher levels of equality and lower in countries with lower equality."

Jonathan Chait at New York criticizes Paul Ryan's speech about poverty.

And Timothy Noah at The New Republic connects Ryan to "inequality denialism."
